The Lovers Speak

“Oh that you were like a brother to me
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts.

I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.

O that you were like a brother to me,

    and into the chamber of her that conceived me.[a]
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
    the juice of my pomegranates.
